Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1968243A1] A system for transmitting data via a core portion (50, 60, 70) of a computer network to a mobile device (10) is described. The network includes a plurality of access points (21, 22, 23, 24) wherein each access point includes a memory (121, 122, 123, 124) where data for onward transmission to the mobile device may be cached and is operable to communicate with the mobile device over a short-range wireless connection, when the mobile device is in range thereof, and with the core portion of the network over a backhaul connection on a substantially continuous basis. The system comprises: a location collection server (50) for receiving location data from the mobile device; an access point prediction engine (60) for generating predictions of one or more of the access points which the mobile device is considered likely to come in range of in the future based on recent location data received at the location collection server (50); and a content delivery server (70) for transmitting the data or a portion thereof to the one or more predicted access points via the backhaul connection for caching at the access points and for onward transmission to the mobile device in the event that the mobile device comes into range of the access point, or one or more of the access points where data is transmitted to more than one predicted access point.
